Cross-device presets?

Post by Mage2k » Sat Jul 28, 2018 6:37 am

I'm hoping to get some guidance on a project I'm trying to implement. What I'd like to do is build a drum rack for my TR-8S with:

1. Devices on each chain with knobs for handling bi-directional MIDI CC manipulation. I already have these with ctlin/ctlout, live.dial, live.menu, live.bank (for Push 2) and supporting objects.
2. A "master device" that will sit on an unused (note/instrument-wise) chain and implement cross-device presets, e.g. can track and manipulate the controls on all of the device.
3. Have preset controls on each of the non-master devices that mirror the preset controls on the master device. I could stand to drop this bit if it would make things overly complicated or simply wouldn't work.

Does that sound doable? Any pointers on how you would approach it?
